November 2001

Dear Readers,

The response to a recent article about the Disclosure Project and the energy surrounding it was staggering. Most responses included excitement related to topics recently addressed by Gaia, along with suggestions for future subjects in your own areas of interest. Your responses enable the dialogue with Gaia to continually expand and all are held with utmost respect. As our communication with Gaia expands so do we, both personally and as a race of beings. The intent of all messages is to open our hearts and minds to all possibilities, even those we might not personally choose to consider or empower. As we expand our awareness our hearts stretch to embrace the broader, less desirable aspects of our existence as well as those held in highest esteem. This makes it easier than ever to fall into the polarity trap, because the moment we take a conclusionary stance regarding our own beliefs or that of others, we leave little room for broader understanding, and even less for future potential. As we access the higher dimensions it is important that we embrace all that we are, leaving nothing behind, because in all things there is wisdom and some of our biggest growth has come from some of our darkest moments. Whatever the topic, I hope that you will consider the information an asset to your personal growth and to planetary possibility.

Fondly,
Pepper Lewis
September, 2001

P.S. The following article is the transcripted version of three taped channeled sessions which took place shortly after the events of September 11, 2001 in New York and Washington, D.C. I have done my best to include a wide variety of questions and hope that your own are answered here as well.

I welcome myself in your presence as I come forth within the circle of your being. A circle that encompasses your hearts and your awareness. A circle that enfolds you, surrounds you, and one that you will soon find enlarges, even as your visions and your truths will do the same. I caution you and beseech you to seek the deepest truth, that which lingers or hides beneath the rocks. Take what is handed to you, displayed before you, spoken to you and whispered to you, but look beyond that as well. What is hidden from your view your heart will discover nonetheless, because what existed long ago and even now exists within your being, your heart will place before you. Your heart will confirm or deny the accuracy of all that is put before you. It will assist you in fulfilling your vision whether it was created long ago or moments prior to reading this. The presence that exists within each of you will unite all hearts regardless of their current expression in the brightest of light or the deepest of shadow. Not in the light and not in the dark will you find the truth, but in the heart which knows neither. When your heart finds cause to smile, you will know that you have discovered the ultimate truth and you will be fulfilled as will others. Until then seek the counsel of the outer world, but even more, seek the council that exists within.

Many messages have already been put forth regarding the events that took place early one September morning. These messages have answered many of your questions and have assuaged your hearts where possible, yet perhaps each one holds within them the one question that would offer peace, rest and solace to the soul. Ask you seek to define this one moment out of time, I open myself to receive the questions that would bring about your ability to move forward in peace. That which is upon your minds and within your hearts we will now discover together.

Can you relate to us from your perspective what happened on Tuesday, September 11, 2001?

From a conscious perspective or reality, I will say that humanity's 'early warning system' failed to alert it to a possibility it had not envisioned or even fathomed. It has already been suggested to you that there are several realities operating simultaneously at this time. As these realities bump up against one another there is a greater likelihood that they will also intersect at one point or another. These intersecting points or cross-overs create a likely possibility of distortion of one or more events in each of the realities that are affected. In your current physical reality, the chain of events created first a real and present danger and second the physical manifestation of a tragedy of global proportion. When realities intersect, it becomes difficult to separate one from another. In a sense, their destinies become entwined such as when two individuals marry and later divorce.

Points of intersection are generally considered 'gray areas' or those which have not yet been chosen or decided. As such, they are subject to what can best be described as an energetic gravitational pull by all neighboring realities. The build-up of energy generated by this pull carries a greater charge or polarity and this will most often result in a physical experience that will hold or demonstrate such a charge. The result need not be a negative one as interpreted by your own perspective, many events that you would call miraculous have been the result of explosive moments such as these. Undecided reality/polarity is one of the reasons that I am most anxious for the the remainder of humanity to awaken. They, along with you have the power to align the polarity of these intersecting points thereby removing the charge. It is a bit like sealing your energetic borders to your past actions and decisions which still bump up against you and invite you to participate with them once again. As long as you consider this an option, these borders will remain open as will the temptation to replay your history yet again.

From a prophetic perspective it can be said that this event was foreseen centuries ago and weeks ago as well. Prophecies exist as possibilities until they are magnetized by the energies and polarities just described, they then become probabilities until collective consciousness adds the final ingredient: the vibrational match which ignites the non physical and makes it physical or real. This is why some prophecies come to pass while others do not. It is why it is you who will determine the outcome of this and all other events.

Awareness of this event has now been brought to the four corners of the globe, to every living being and to each heart contained upon and within all borders. It has also been brought to the awareness of those who make their home within the planet, as well as those who watch from afar. This event has also sparked great interest from other dimensions and other worlds. It is in the hearts and minds of those who are your teachers and your guides. Ancestral patrons and future generations alike have a stake in the decisions that will be made proximately. Indeed, even other universes will be affected by what is yet to be played out in this tiny corridor of time upon a small planet within a galaxy of minor consequence in a universe where until now only mild interest was held by others.

This event will have great significance upon the calendars of time and particularly those which are measured not by the days but by the stars. It will be called a turning point in your history as was the millennium and as was your most recent presidential election. History will now record more turning points than ordinary days and there will not be enough space upon your calendars to record each day's events. This page in your history is now book marked, and you will find yourselves returning to it again and again in an effort to organize or reorder the chain of events in order to find the real truth or the greater truth from all those that will be offered to you. In order to understand what has happened you will need to look beyond the immediate devastation which is currently captivating your physical senses. You must feel what has happened so that you can see the truth. If you attempt to see first and feel later, you will miss at least some of the truth.

What has happened then, is that the greatest questions of all has been put to humanity: What do you hold most dear? What is dearly held within your heart? Who are your brothers and sisters? What are you devoted to or aligned with? What is the light and how does it define itself within you? Who are your allies and what does it mean to have an enemy? Is your life your own or does it belong to another? These questions and others like them will be evaluated, examined and scrutinized day after day after day. No longer will they be forgotten or set aside for a later date because your future and that of others depend upon them, and only the events that are forthcoming will determine what the answers will be.

If in the past it has been said that the eyes of spirit are upon humanity, that the teachers and the masters and those who have come before you watch, now it will be in earnest. What humanity chooses to embrace will be seen and felt by all. It is the turning point in history that will define not only your country or your continent, but the hearts of each individual within the world which collectively make up humanity. No individual child or adult will be left out, nor will any race, culture, religion or belief.

How have you, as the sentience of the Earth been affected by this event? Can we assist you at this time?

Because we are mirrors of one another we share a collective reality as well as an individual one, therefore, it can be said that the effects upon my beingness have been much as your own. There is a crater upon my body where two towers once stood and another within my heart where I once cradled those who recently departed the physical plane. This crater affects not only my own sentience, but the collective soul of humanity as well. The cries of those who search for their loved ones and the quiet murmurs of those who have just transitioned are each within me, as are the echoes of those who stand tall in their demand for justice against those who have now become the enemies of your country. Each of these cries creates a frequency, a vibration which permeates the earth and finds its way into every crevice within every stone and within every heart, be it human or otherwise. There is a rift, a tear within the fabric of the earth's ley lines. It grows wider as these vibrations saturate not only the physical earth, but the collective heart of humanity as well. Hate, anger and distrust creates swellings that festers within any body, be it mine or yours. When these factors are present repair is difficult and healing nearly impossible. Can you tell us about the victims of this disaster and the choices they made? Is there something we can do to assist their transition?

Those who made their transition as a result of this event do not see themselves as victims but heroes. Certainly there was little warning or grace involved in the choices they were asked to make though each did so completely of their own accord and under their own volition. Their lives were not taken from them, they were offered up; volunteered, even as you have dedicated yourselves to your own tasks. It would be inappropriate to assume that their gift to humanity was in vain, it would have less consequence then, do you see?

The choice to participate in this event by boarding the specific airplanes involved or by finding oneself within the physical boundaries of the buildings involved was a terminal one for many. Those who made these choices understood that they would soon be removed from the physical constraints of the body and that this would take place via an act of violence. Some made a conscious choice to participate in this reality while others made an unconscious choice to do the same. An unconscious choice is made by the soul; no individual is ever powerless or without choice. There is always purpose behind all decisions and no life is ever abandoned or offered in vain regardless of the inability of those left behind to comprehend the merit of the decision. Of those involved, some gave their consent a few weeks prior to the event while for others it was given only moments prior to boarding the planes or entering the buildings involved.

Those who gave their lives in this event belong to a circle of wisdom, just as each of you belong to one as well. This is a prime example of a group consciousness, and though not all beings are required to offer their lives in this way, these apparent individuals came together as one entity because they understood the importance of the message at this turning point in earth's history. They agreed to be the messengers just as many of you have agreed to do the same in your own manner of choosing. How can that be? How can so many individuals be a part of one consciousness? To discover this you must look beyond the individual truth in order to see the deeper wisdom. Are you not of like mind with many of those who will read these words and others like them? Does that not make you a part of that consciousness? Are you not wiling participators of thoughts and desires that exist beyond normal reality? Are there not events currently outlined as future possibilities that you would like to influence in one way or another? Would you not agree then, that you are also part of a divine order committed to a course of thought and action? Would it not be reasonable to accord these beings the same consideration?

Likewise, there are those who chose not to participate in this event. They did not board the planes and they did not show for work at the appointed hour. For reasons of their own making they chose to remain upon the earth plane until another choice presents itself to them. Those who have chosen to remain now belong to both worlds and to neither. This is neither a gift nor a curse yet it is true that these beings have now been changed. As this process has altered their frequency, they will now make decisions based upon a reality that takes into consideration both the seen and the unseen; they will know and respond to the fealty and the frailty of both worlds. They will be in contact with those who have departed and will call upon them for assistance and guidance as the case may be.

What can you do to assist the beings who have elected to transition as a result of this event? First you must know that there is not one who would have it any other way given the chance to reconsider their decision. They offered themselves as best they could in their life and then did the same in their final hour. Can this really be? It can, because they are in service even as you are. They offered what was in their highest and best interest to both the earth and to you given the current consciousness of humanity. You would do no less in spite of any fear which may prevail for you have already ushered in the community and planetary consciousness that will see to it. From their point of view they could give no less and would therefore do so again. If you view their act as a gift of conscious upliftment, perhaps you will offer the same by living your life as conscious agents of a healed and healthy world. Hold peace in your hearts for those who cannot do the same and see with clear vision where others' eyes have become clouded with sadness, anger or rage. Vow to avenge with light where others would call forth a weapon, seek only that which your own heart knows to be true.

Are the hijackers assassins or victims? How did they arrive at the choices they made? Are there spiritual consequences for them or for others who perpetrate acts such as these?

Those whom you call hijackers belong to the same circle of wisdom recently described. They are not the epitome of evil any more than you are; neither are they messengers of the dark side or of any other faction that has been offered of late. None of them was consciously aware of the impact their choices had upon the world stage. They made contracts and agreed to carry them out. They were neither pawns nor willing adversaries though their individual will was removed long ago as part of the training regime they submitted to. Their own unconscious beliefs were that they were assisting to make the world a better place for their families and for future generations of their homeland and their God which they cherished dearly. They understood they would be 'going against the grain', but have you not been told the same? They were manipulated and controlled, but are you not also staving off the same consequence? Their frequency was not allowed to receive the vibration of the new paradigm and they became little more than programs operated by remote control. They have not yet awakened to the truth of their actions because the condition of their soul is yet too fragile; it would fragment them beyond repair. They are neither assassins nor victims but casualties of the choices they succumbed to. There are not spiritual consequences in store for these beings, but it can be said that there are levels of enhanced consciousness that they will not be able to perceive for some time. They are not held as separate from those who gave their life as a result of this event as many are even assisting to minister to their recovery. It would be inappropriate to speak of consequences related to other beings given that these acts have not taken place.

There seems to be certainty on the part of our government that there is one man behind these acts. Much of the world's media supports this as well, is this true? If so, can you tell us about him?

On the physical plane, there is one man who is responsible for the decision to carry out this event. He is not acting alone. He is more consciously aware of his actions than those who would follow him, but he is only partly aware of the worldwide implications which have been brought into being. He is part of a foundation of understanding and there are others who guide his words and his deeds. He is a physical representation or embodiment of a non-physical energy with an opposing point of view He is the face that stands for the faceless beings who do not wish to show themselves. He has been chosen to deliver certain messages to humanity. Not all of these messages will be delivered as acts of terrorism though there will most likely be more as well. There is a cabal of beings and resources at the disposal of the ground team and they will use these wisely. There is a framework of beings within a loosely based organization. In answer to your unasked question I will say that some of these beings are of earth origin and some are not. There is a certain amount of distention within the ranks because one hand does not always know or agree with the other, but for the present time they are still aligned and of one mind.

To turn one's entire attention or power over to one being or one country be it grand or of somewhat insignificant proportion would be to overlook at least some of the truth. By agreeing to have your attention misdirected you have also agreed to participate in this version of reality, do you see? Once you understand how a magician performs a trick there is less interest in it, is there not? Perhaps you will discover the same is true of this reality. You will participate in it to the degree that you do not remember the truth. For the most part, humanity desires an opponent it can meet head on. In this individual they have discovered a worthy opponent with face they will love to hate, but this will be temporary as it will not last. Soon other opponents will be revealed as will other weapons with which to fight them.

Based upon the current decisions of our president and the government which supports him, will this really be the beginning of a long and protracted war? Will it be World War III?

It is the beginning of the time of change from which there is no turning back. Here humanity will discover its true roots and emerge victorious or it will perish. It is not only the shift of the ages but the shift within the hearts of men and women which must take place. It is likely that this event will be the trigger for the war which has been prophesied though its events will not closely mirror those that have been biblically foretold. It will be up to the scholars to remind the citizens of this fact for the religious zealots will not.

There will at first be one battle and demonstration of retaliatory force. It will be seen as a success and the united front will appear victorious before their respective citizenry. It will be seen that the infidel has been put down and that the evil menace is no more, there will be little doubt of this. Once again there will be world peace but it will be short lived, because from another country and from another source will emerge yet another enemy more ruthless and powerful than the present adversary. This adversary will have greater influence upon the hearts and minds of others and his reach may very well be worldwide. The decision of what will happen next lies within the hearts of all humanity. All who have a voice will be called upon to exercise it for even in your silence will your voice be apparent.

If there is a war, will nuclear weapons be used?

As it is seen at this time there will be what is believed to be the limited and controlled use of a specific type of nuclear weapon. It has been in the development stage for some time and has been tested underground. More than one government has expressed interest in purchasing it if it can be successfully deployed. Those who have developed this technology believe that nuclear weapons can yet be controlled and directed when specific intent is employed, in this case the annihilation of a specific area within controlled boundaries without extended effects or fallout. The desire is to test this device in a country whose terrain or upheaval will not upset the balance or world order, as it were. It will, unfortunately, have an impact upon the entire world if this comes to pass, it cannot be otherwise.

Can we do something to prevent these weapons from being used?

The issue will be forced. There are those who do not wish to employ this device because they doubt the validity of the test data which indicates the relative safety and the ability to control the effects of the aftermath. Others are willing to chance limited success deeming the ratios well within balance. Not all within the military are aware of the device or its whereabouts, then again, secrets are the norm within these circles therefore surprises are few. If the deployment of this weapon is deemed a success, those in power will claim responsibility for the intelligence which brought it forth. If the outcome is unsuccessful, credit or blame will be placed upon an uprising or theft of military intelligence within another country. There will be a great campaign to institute tighter measures upon lesser powers who are not able to control their nuclear arsenals.

Up until now, Israel and Palestine have been the focus of discordant Middle-East energy, what will happen there?

Israel will not find itself involved in the current fracas at the outset, and it will do its best to put forth a calm face amidst the terror that others experience. They will yet surprise other nations by appearing to moderate their own actions and that of others. Above all others, these two nations understand the price of war and the high cost of peace. For a time they will represent themselves as peace loving or peace keeping beings and this will be healing to the souls all beings who make their home within these boundaries. After a time they will find themselves drawn into one or more situations that they had not anticipated. Unexpected covert activities will appear to have been inflicted upon them from their long time enemy although this will not have been the case. A real and present danger will be perceived and the enemy will once more have a face. There is a fortress in this area; an energy vortex protected by the beliefs of both nations. This fortress contains an abundance of reason, logic and historic passion. As long as there are weapons there will not peace, even if those weapons are words. Many years from now the borders and boundaries within this area will be different, the landscape will be changed as will the understanding of those who will make their home there. Its name may change but it will still be a land and a people of great consequence.

Will there be more actions by those responsible for this act of terrorism? If so, will they be on this continent? Will they be in the near future? Can you tell us where and when?

There will indeed be other actions by these individuals and by others. Humanity's current wave of fear will call these acts into being because the wave of power which exists at the opposite end of the spectrum is a sleeping giant which has been awakened and will not easily be put to sleep or defeated. Regardless of origin, all perpetrated acts or intent toward action will be attributed to this organization. It is the current face of the enemy and it will remain so until another face or another flag is substituted for this one. If the fear is worldwide, so will the enemy show itself to be worldwide. This organization will wish to demonstrate that it can move about at will infiltrating or disrupting the highest echelons within many established cultures.

The nature and location of the response sponsored by this organization will be determined by the retaliatory act of force offered by the military of your country as ordered by those with the power to initiate it. The immediate success or failure of this first attempt will determine how quickly the corresponding force is able to rise up in protest. That is one of the reasons that planning and strategy is being plotted behind closed doors and in underground bunkers alike. Even so, the secrets will emerge because they are meant to do just that. Established military sites upon more than one continent may be targeted. The strikes will be carried out with intelligence and military precision taking into consideration the various time zones involved. It is also likely that an aircraft carrier or other large arsenal may fall. Institutions of banking and treasuries may also be targeted but they will have been emptied first. Individuals who carry position and status within the halls of finance and government may also become targets as will dignitaries from foreign governments though it is not likely that these quests will be met with much success. All so called targets exist as possibilities, but bombs can be diffused by the hearts of men, do you see?

Many people have been asking about the significance of another date, September 17, 2001. It has been said that this date is the last recorded date in history as measured by a time line within the great pyramid in Egypt. Is there any relationship between the events of September 11, 2001 and the time line ending on September 17, 2001?

In a sense, yes. It is important to note that there are many cycles of time receiving public notice as a result of the various schools of thought open to review at this time. Some cycles appear to be ending while others are just beginning. Time and space are relevant to the accuracy of the calendars and the measurement of the stars used to calculate them. Some measurements have been quite accurate while others have been off by more than a century. The most accurate calendars are those which have taken into consideration the various choices that humanity would make as presented with scenarios of vast significance. In other words, they are accurate because they have included human nature as a valid factor in their preparation. Those who invested a great deal of time studying the course of future events and noting their conclusions upon this time line could not accurately vision or discover what state humanity would find itself in beyond September 17, 2001. Were they mistaken in their calculations? Did they mistake September 17, 2001 for September 11, 2001? No, their account was accurate. It is often not the events of one day which determine the course of future events, but the days which follow. It is your custom to celebrate the date of your birth, but it is more likely that later on you will reflect upon the events of that year, do you see?

If it can be said that September 11, 2001 created an opening or rift in the fabric of time, space and illusion than the same can be said of September 17, 2001. If it can be said that September 11, 2001 ushered in evil, then the opposite can be said of September 17, 2001. This cycle of time will bring balance to the earth and to humanity, polarity may yet become your greatest gift and ally as it further understood. By definition we can assign great force and power to the events of September 11, 2001 via explosions and such, therefore it affected matter or the known world. Perhaps by agreement alone we must allow that September 17, 2001 was the implosion or the birth of the unknown; anti-matter. What can you expect as a result of combining matter and anti-matter? Your upcoming history will have to answer this as these two universal elements have not yet been brought together in a world determined by both physical and non-physical intelligence. Other dates will also have significance upon future events as determined by astrological events in the heavens and by what is termed sacred geometry. When hearts and minds become attuned to these frequencies and vibrations other choices will become available, you will be able to see beyond the few options of today.

The current ups and down of the world financial markets are also playing upon our fears. Can you comment as to what we might expect in this area?

The financial distress of the first few days and weeks will subside in spite of the words offered by the doomsayers. Doomsayers profit by the fear they instill in others and often by a healthy margin. Financial markets will fall wildly in the beginning, then stabilize and even climb steadily for a time, gaining momentum via approval of what is taking place on the world stage. There will be renewed interest in resources of community and enterprise as the economy is stimulated into growth by both natural and artificial means. The nation will galvanize and align itself behind its leader as the economic incentives put forth by the government appear to be of benefit to all. This, however, is likely to be short lived because the structure erected to support this aggressive action will not be able to sustain the weight which lies dependent upon it or that which secretly pushes it from behind. When those who have pledged their support to rebuilding the economy see in earnest that their investment cannot be recovered they will begin to remove their support. This will cause a small downturn but an influx of monies from other sources will pump up the economy once again. This also will not last and it is likely that the economy of the entire world will nose dive from there. Those whose finances and wealth are great will see that they cannot support their lifestyle or drive their companies without the assistance, agreement and support of the average citizen. Impoverished families will have little interest in driving an economy and creativity will be at an all time low. Even the toys of technology will hold little interest for a society that cannot afford to purchase them. This will begin the departure from the technological thinking that marked the last years of your previous century.

Could this economic downturn lead to something like a stock market crash? Don't we have safeguards in place to avoid this? Can you offer suggestions as to how we might prevent these possibilities from occurring?

Economic markets will most likely shift the arrangement of how profits and losses are calculated as well as how these numbers are represented to the general public before economic and political instability causes them to plunge. Other systems and gauges will be put in place so that what would have been called a crash will now have a different definition, one that will not instill as much fear into the hearts and minds of investors and consumers. Those who have dabbled in high trade and finance and found themselves to be winners will most likely stay in the game. Those who can ill afford the gamble and have seen the writing on the wall are better off remaining on the sidelines. Prosperity is the natural right of every being. Remembering this now will allow you to share an abundant table later on with those who have made leaner choices.

Many prophecies such as those of Nostradamus are being revisited at this time. Are there certain prophecies that are more accurate than others? Are there any specific ones we should be paying particular attention to?

Prophecies are visions of small and grand proportion. They offer perspective and understanding when they are accurate yet they are often great causes of concern as well. Prophecies are made every day but most are ignored or scoffed at. Why is that? Why are ancient prophecies written in arcane language by mostly uneducated beings translated over and over again in an attempt to decipher their validity, while today's prophets who can be both examined and interviewed go unheeded for the most part? It is because the ancient strikes a chord of reason within you. It is likely that you have encountered the same prophecy one or more times in your previous lives and found yourselves wondering about this time in history's corridor. It is possible that your own dreams and visions of this time find common ground in ancient history. New prophecy like new thought leaves little to the imagination, it leaves little for you to do or create. The mind is more likely to find it reasonable or logical while the ancient lies shrouded in a mysterious mist. You doubt what is offered by your peers be it fact or fantasy as you wonder as to their agenda, but ancient prophecy has an enduring quality which lends it credence even without its supporting facts. The answers that humanity seeks today exists only within its own heart, but until it discovers that it will seek many other sources both seen and unseen, current voices and ancient ones alike will once again have their say and humanity will lend an attentive ear.

Michel de Notredame later know as Nostradamus spoke and wrote of many truths. Only some of his works have survived, others lay as nameless for he would not add his own namesakes to these. He offered them to his assistants, apprentices and house maids alike but they also would not claim them, not even for the small income their publishing would bring. Messages of hope and of devastation were carefully hidden within prose, poetry and quatrains that appeared to make little or no sense at all. His messages were clearly meant for those of future centuries and they posed little threat to those in positions of authority during his lifetime, but this he did not know and there were few whom he completely entrusted with his visions, thus many went unrecorded.

The prophecies which have endured are somewhat horrific in nature depending on how they are translated and they offer little solace to those who would attempt to interpret them differently. From time to time scholars have offered new translations based upon new found text or further investigation, but the population has had little interest in recycling through worst case scenarios when it has plenty of its own. Today there is a resurgence in his writings and it can perhaps be said that at least some of his words are hitting a bit too close to home. Nonetheless, in order for them to be of any use they must be deciphered, decoded and translated correctly. In spite of the volumes which currently exist, few are accurate and most are obsolete by their very nature. Many are false or misleading because they do not take into account the language with which they were written, the mysteries by which they were put forth, the humor in some cases in which the truths were hidden, or the references to planets, star systems and other celestial objects of interest and measure. When misunderstood and misinterpreted prophecies are circulated anyway, they create new possibilities or prophecies based upon what humanity will embrace or believe that had not existed previously. Insignificant rumors can easily become faceless monsters just as specific and accurate visions can be easily ignored, do you see?

Many prophets and prophecies alike will find a new and hungry audience in today's population. It is best that each individual hold within one's own heart what is the truth of the moment and there find its lasting or fleeting quality. Each one must discover and define what is possibility, probability, fantasy and physical truth along with the relative importance of each. As an example of this look to your own time frame for incidents in which real life or perceived real life [what the media offers] has offered amazingly accurate depictions of exploding buildings within the east coast skyline up until moments before the actual event took place. How many of these have been removed from your reality since then? When fantasy becomes real life, humanity will often go in search of a new fantasy. Prophecies depend upon humanity's desire to magnetize or attract them into being, that is why some will come true in grand detail while others will not. Even those put forth by great visionaries are subject to the same laws of the universe. Those which have been offered by dear Nostradamus were as sleeping giants prior to the matter/anti-matter rift of September 11, 2001. Now their accuracy is in humanity's hands.

Based upon what you say, is it the reality (ies) that we carry in our hearts that determines whether we will magnetize prophecy or transcend it in order to create new possibilities and realities?

In a matter of speaking, yes, but it is more than that as well. Beyond the dearness and clarity of your own hearts there exist bands of energy, great waves that move through the universe synchronistically timed to coincide with specific moments in your history; cycles of time and awareness destined to assist humanity's growth and development as a sentient and spiritual species. These bands of energy have the ability to activate hearts or deactivate souls as the case may be. Does the history of the stars in this galaxy not indicate a great and beautiful celestial body that is no more? Was there not another planet that once was numbered among those you count today? At the time of this world's demise waves of energy were present even as they are today. An open invitation for peace among all beings was offered by the intelligent bands of energy. After continued discussions failed to promote peace a great warring ensued which continued until it became difficult to tell the victorious from the defeated. Eventually explosions from within and without disintegrated a once beautiful sentient being and its inhabitants. Because your souls are as infinite as the grace which protects them, many who are here upon the earth at this time can claim the memory as well as the responsibility for the acts perpetrated upon that world. The waves of energy now visit again and ask what is within your heart that you would be willing to share with your neighbor? How far would you be willing to stretch your hand in order to reach that neighbor? What must this neighbor say, do, be, or look like in order for you to offer an unconditional heart and an open hand?

The earth is now home to beings who are capable of creating more acts of anger or terrorism as you call them as well as an equal amount of beings who are devoted to opening hearts wherever they may be. It may not appear to be a level playing field but from certain perspectives it is, because those who have already manifested an open heart have done so in the past as well. They know what is at stake and how to thread the eye of the needle. They have done it before and they will do so again. Will you be counted among them? Before humanity can ascend itself or the planet it must answer the ultimate question, Who Am I? The waves of energy which currently enfold the planet will assist each individual to answer this question so that it's collective voice will also be heard.

There are pictures currently being circulated on the Internet that originated from Art Bell's website. The pictures are of different views of the World Trade Center towers in New York shortly after the explosions. A few of the pictures look as if there are full featured faces in the smoke and another picture looks as if there is a flying being (too big to be a bird) in the background of the towers. Are you aware of these pictures and if so, can you comment on them?

Indicated within the one picture is indeed a being from another reality that made its presence known to the camera and to the few other individuals included in that fractionalized moment. As was said earlier, many realities border or stack near or on top of one another. When there is a momentous exchange of energy, the doors or thresholds of these realities can blow open. This being momentarily appeared in this (your) reality and was captured upon the film of the digital device of its owner. It is a dragon-like being, one typically thought of as having had a mythological existence. Dragon beings have shifted and evolved and share a reality with other similar beings. Their destiny is not tied to your own but it is aligned with it as they share a common quest. An alternate or bordering reality does not mean that it must be of a distant galaxy or another world altogether, in this case it is simply a remote reality. Ordinarily, these beings participate in their own time and space but here these realities momentarily intersected as two corners touched one another. Is this also not the nature of how realities can shift or how awareness can come to be?

In respect to the faces seen in the billowing clouds of smoke, these are formed by the elements of the earth combining with the energy of the moment to create a representative picture of the collective reality at hand. The elements of the earth are no different than you are in many ways, they are extensions of humanity and its collective consciousness. Combining their energy with yours often results in creative bursts of consciousness; ideas and concepts are often extensions of this fine combination of elements. Feelings and emotions are also extensions of this combination of energy and can therefore form a pattern recognizable to those who would choose to interact with it in the moment. The intensity upon the faces in these pictures mirrors your own emotions and their questions are no different than your own. Other pictures will soon emerge as well, some of these will have been photographically or digitally enhanced to evoke or provoke a reaction. Even so, there will be details that one eye will miss and another will catch. The pictures are representations of the elements of the earth speaking to you what is unspeakable.

Will the present course of events trigger earthquakes or other forms of earth changes as has also been prophesied?

If recent events can be described as an escalation of energy, then earth changes must now be described the same way. An escalation of the magnitude in which the physical earth responds to discordant energy can be noted. The earth has sustained a great impact and both the physical and the energetic body has been affected. The effects of this can best be described as an amplification of your own experience. The waves of energy penetrating my beingness have created a shock wave composed of physical and non-physical material of the entire experience. Its impact will likely be felt within my being for approximately twenty-eight days. It is one of the earth's functions to absorb and diffuse this energy whenever possible and that will not change, but what the earth cannot either diffuse or absorb may manifest in what you call earth changes. Volcanic eruptions are able to diffuse energy quickly while offering the benefits of healthful energetic particles carried by volcanic ash. Earthquakes also assist in relieving stored pressure and may be necessary if the shockwave of energy does not dissipate within the time of a cycle of the moon. How, when, and where this might take place is more difficult to pinpoint because at this time the entire earth is absorbing the shock of this event. Certainly there are weaker places within the earth's ley line structure and grid system but this alone cannot predict a reaction. It is my intention at this time to minimize any physical response by the planet by sustaining much of the impact within the innermost reaches of the earth. It is my hope that this will allow humanity to ponder a peaceful missive while it allows anger and aggression to stand down. This is not a promise or a guarantee.

The next two years may bring detonations of weapons and thoughts capable of mass destruction. These will have great bearing upon the earth's ability to withstand and absorb energy of this nature. Untested weapons may be detonated underground in an effort to understand their impact and performance. It is possible that this will set off a chain of earthquake energy that will be difficult to prevent on my part. These earthquakes will most likely be linked with ancient prophecy and the words of current scholars will be little heeded. Be gentle with yourselves and with others. Hold fast to a quick and peaceful resolution to all aggressive thoughts and actions be they abroad or on your own shores.

How have the animal, plant, and mineral kingdoms of the earth been affected by this event?

They are assisting the physical plane in absorbing and transmuting disqualified energy just as you are. The animal kingdom is most actively engaged in participating with humanity at this time. They are bringing their full awareness to the conscious levels rather than participating in the more subtle realms as if often their choice. Each kingdom is capable of creating its own grid system which is generally unseen other than as pure energy. This grid system is currently linking heart to heart and species to species across the entire globe. In a sense it is a show of solidarity, a symbol of respect for all beings to witness for you see, even those who are natural enemies or part of one another's food chain are standing next to one another energetically without fear of loss of life or reprisal by another. Need you another example?

The plant kingdom, particularly that which is used as sustenance by humanity is taking from the soil a more nutrient enhanced content in order to bring additional healthful support to humanity at this time in terms of what vitamins and minerals can be extracted and absorbed by the physical body. The mineral kingdom is bringing all available records regarding choices humanity has made in similar historical situations as close to humanity as possible. They are quite literally whispering in the ear of those who would hear. They have lowered their vibration enough so that even those who are not normally attuned to what they offer will hear plainly and directly. Perhaps most pertinent at this time were the decisions made during the latter times upon Atlantis. All kingdoms and all elements of the earth are actively engaged in processes of healing which include sentiently disarming the hearts of those who cannot yet hear, feel or see the truth.

Can you share with us what role we might expect the world's major religions to play at this time?

Religions as entities have little or no roles to play. They are in place in order to provide support to individuals based upon the belief systems that each offer which are either current or obsolete as the case my be. They will offer shelter, purpose vision, and peace to those seek it, but they will have little to offer in terms of explanation for the acts which have recently taken place as well as for others that may yet be. If misplaced acts and misplaced wars escalate, the roles that many religions play will shift of necessity, for they must defend their god or the beliefs of their god after all. What can be said of wars raged in the name of what is holy? Can a holy one or divine being love one man or one religion more than another? Can I, as the sentience of the earth love one culture or one people more than another? I speak for my own sentience but venture to say in the name of the One, that love neither favors nor denies.

If religions and the power they wield become threatened, they will be seen to take on a political agenda of their own as they form alliances within the realms of both earth and spirit. They will then become another entity altogether. Some of the world's religions may come together as never before finding more common ground as friends than as foes. Many will break ranks with one order in order to join another as either power or protection is diminished. If this continues there will be little difference between a country which makes battle upon another or a religion which does the same. The same will be true of cultures, genders, and more. It is therefore important to allow God/Creator/All That Is to be defined within one's own heart so that another will not need to do it for you.

Is alien influence or involvement a factor in the events that have taken place so far? Will it play a part in upcoming conflicts which are now being planned?

It will be a behind the scenes factor for now. It will show itself in the technological warfare employed, but not insofar as an admission of alien presence. Some of the technology employed will seem advanced to those whose eyes have been averted from military advances. If there is an escalation of events between the sides, there will also be an escalation in the choice of weaponry. Eventually it will become undeniable to most that these resources did not originate with man. By the time an admission of origin takes place, many losses will also have been suffered. The structure which supports the government will see this as an advantageous moment to rally support for its liaison with beings of alien origin. Beyond the initial gasp of fear will come the realization that these advanced beings are on your side. There will be a rush of acceptance and support from many though not all. The first alien beings to step forward will be the most handsome, well mannered and helpful of all. There will be little doubt as to the generosity or the assistance they proffer and it will arrive at a time when it is most needed. There will be only a small hesitation upon the hearts of a few because their assistance will be needed. It will barely enter either heart or mind within the mass community that is humanity that perhaps the very same assistance is being offered elsewhere.

How can we best serve one another in this time to promote spiritual balance within ourselves and peace within the hearts and minds of those who prefer war?

Those who vehemently desire war will not be satisfied until they have tasted it. Not until their eyes have feasted upon the casualties of war, be it their own countrymen or those of another country will they even begin to be satiated. Those who crave war will suffer great loss as well, for if there is not peace in the world there will not be peace in the hearts of men, least of all those who have called forth unrest. Those who call upon your government to exercise its military will are simply not consciously aware of how far reaching its effects may be. They have forgotten the losses they themselves have suffered in previous lifetimes upon the earth, they cannot remember because the burden would be too great. In war there is not good versus evil or light versus dark, there is only fear, anger, bloodshed and loneliness. Better it is to be as spiritual warriors with an emblem that bears an open heart and a dove of peace for all relations and all beings.

An open declaration of war against one or more countries will not bring an end to terrorism because it exists as a possibility in all hearts where there is unrest. Destroying homes, families, cities and hearts that cannot be rebuilt will not contribute to peace on any front. Prior to taking a stand each individual must ask themselves if they are prepared to brandish a weapon and if so, what kind and in whose face. In desiring war one must be willing to offer one's sons and daughters for many generations to come. If this cannot be done perhaps there is room yet for peace to wedge open the door to one's heart. It is admirable to abhor war or bloodshed, but it is not equivalent to a craving for peace.

Choosing to be of service at this time can invoke the best that one has to offer. It is important to offer oneself from a position of beingness first, so that the doingness will truly be of service. One must be truth, one must be peace, one must a partner, a friend, a neighbor, and a world citizen. One must look into the eyes of all beings one comes in contact with, and simply say, "Namaste, I honor and pay homage to the soul that exists within the vehicle of light that you present to me upon this day." If you insist upon placing yourself in a mode of doing, you eliminate all that you envision you cannot do from your sphere of influence. Work, home and play environments alike require a firm dedication toward a peaceful heartfelt community. Extending one's natural borders and boundaries to include those who slumber as well as those who are awake is to be of service; to be all that one is in every moment, not only upon entering a spiritual arena of like minded thought is to be of service to all, do you see? A handshake, a pat on the back, or a smile are of no less value today than they were before this event entered your reality, perhaps they are even as treasure today.

If we are able to hold on to open thoughts and open hearts as you have suggested, what might we expect in terms of support from those who work with us interdimensionally? Also, I have heard you use the term 'wisdom walker' before. It sounds beautiful, but can you describe it more fully?

The universe has already opened itself to you in this regard and healers, teachers and "wisdom walkers" are now among you. They are part of both the visible and the invisible realms. You see, if humanity will call forth what it perceives as the dark, it will also call forth what it perceives as the light. It cannot be otherwise in this current world of polarity. To those who would say that an age of darkness has been ushered in I say nay, it is the age of balance as defined by polarity. Light may redefine itself by the shadow that is cast upon it, but the light will express itself nonetheless. It is better to allow the light to express itself as it will rather than to confine it to past experience. Light is composed of the spectrum of all colors, it is precisely because of this diversity that appears to be white or light.

All dimensions and realities are prepared to offer assistance as it is called forth and before then as well. Interdimensional libraries are open and well staffed. Seek what guidance you wish and it will be presented to you. The only membership requirement is the desire to know. Explore the past or the perceived future at will. Decide for yourselves what you wish to create based upon what others before you have chosen or ignore the past and create anew. The events of September 11, 2001 are a clear indication that many more possibilities exist than those you had previously though possible. Please allow yourselves to see the gift in this as it applies to you as well.

Wisdom Walkers are beings from a dimension less dense than your own. They understand earth culture and are well versed in diplomacy and historical perspective. Many have held positions of power and authority upon the earth in incarnations of the ancient past as well as very recently. Wisdom Walkers offer perspectives where both time and tempers are short. They can be the bridge that connects one mind to another or one military leader to another. Among them are those who in the past have made grand decisions and poor ones alike; each has gained deep and powerful awareness from their experiences and are therefore in a position to offer wisdom not easily found elsewhere. Wisdom Walkers can walk-in to corporate board rooms or strategic military command rooms at will. They can also walk-in to a body when it serves a direct and immediate purpose but will not remain there. They have been called forth by what you would term 'the light' in answer to what has been termed 'the dark'. Earlier words indicate that neither expression is valid but it will be used for the purpose of this definition and in answer to your question. A Wisdom Walker's prime directive is to bring peace and balance to any situation which would otherwise call for great harm to be inflicted upon the lives of many. They are not angels and should not be perceived as such. They would take no credit for any actions made upon or because of their influence. They are a preventative measure, an incentive that invites those in power to find a direct course to the seat of their true power which lies in their soul rather than in.....their seat. Wisdom Walkers can be called upon whenever decisions of grand proportion affect your life stream. You will see that their counsel is strong, direct, and conclusive.

Humanity is reluctant to make what we will say is a firm choice because its beliefs have allowed it to become indebted to itself and to its past. Previous decisions of continental significance [Atlantis] plague those who contributed to its demise. Humanity has been led to believe that there will be another opportunity of grand proportion that will right the wrongs of the past and usher in the greatest of futures. You have been told that there will be unmistakable signposts that will guide you accordingly and that your spirituality will figure prominently in the decisions you will make. This is event is not one of the symbols or signposts, but it is a precursor of one. If you are to build an ascension temple within your being you must first dismantle what currently stands in its place be it a belief structure or a physical structure. However disastrous the event described throughout this writing has been, it is yet an ancient symbol of truth and goodness will come of it yet; from the great burst of fire and ash the phoenix will rise and this symbol you will surely recognize. Your ascension may not be the highlight of this life as hindsight will one day show for greater moments still are yet to come. Humanity's longevity upon the earth is being debated at this time and its outcome has not yet been assured, however, as it stands in this moment humanity is likely to choose itself; its divinity and its own god-nature.

As far as conflicts go, can you outline for us what we might expect to see or experience over the next several years? Can we look forward to some real peace as well?

Various possibilities currently exist. Because you have requested it an outline will be offered. It is important to remember that the course of events can and will be altered by as few as two hearts acting in peace. Immediately now comes a grand battle, the one the American president calls for. The United States will appear victorious with few battle scars to show for its effort and military might. This will be followed by a short period of peace with life returning to its normal din. Peace will be short lived as another aggressor enters the scene as if from nowhere. Military superiority will once again save the day and many will applaud while others begin to tire of the insanity which becomes your daily experience. Eventually the citizenry will become bored of the military campaigns just as it becomes bored of the programming on the nightly television box for it will be little different. It will turn its attention away from war and focus once again on peace. An invitation of a different nature will then incite the country which will once again be called to action.

In terms of timing, the first military action comes swiftly now; almost immediate. Three to six weeks hence there will be a cycle of rest followed by another moment where the world will hold its breath. In the silence will be found either challenge or opportunity. Depending upon what the world will choose it is possible that the conflicts may end within the seasons of 2004-2005. If this is not the case grand actions will carry you fatefully to the grand juncture in the year 2012 where once again it will be challenge, opportunity and choice. There will be an offer of peace but it will be suppressed by those who would continue to war against one another. If the hand is not extended it will be the weapons that will carry the world into the 2024-2025 season where the grandest of all choices will be put before all humanity, not only those in positions of authority. Perhaps you will agree that what you hold in your hearts today is crucial to what you will experience tomorrow and next year; what you hold in your hearts affects your very next moment and your very next breath and that which another would breathe as well.

How can we speak to young people about this in terms of explaining social consciousness?

You will say, "Upon my time and when I was raised I was given certain choices. Sometimes I understood this and sometimes I did not. When I did not understand that I was being presented with choices at times they were removed and the choices were made for me. In your time there are also many choices to be made. You must know in your heart that as you make these choices you are choosing the course and direction your life will take. As you come into adulthood it is important that you remember that your choices will affect not only yourself but others as well, therefore, you must choose wisely. You have come to earth to exercise that which is the will of your heart, as you do so I will know that I have been privileged to have been a part of that."

Is it wrong to influence or change someone's mind in regard to embracing peace rather than conflict? I sometimes feel in conflict with myself when I do this, as if I am trying to leverage a certain outcome by tampering with the natural rhythm of life.

It is within the nature of humanity to tamper with life. In offering another perspective you automatically influence that reality; you tamper with it, but that is what you are here to do. If someone comes to your home it is polite to offer your hospitality. Likewise if you will visit someone, you will bring a bit of hospitality with you. It is no different with consciousness, ideas or paradigms. The paradigm that you carry is the hospitality you offer. It is up to others to decide if they will participate with your offer. You cannot force another to partake of your hospitality but you can leave it as a gift when you depart. After all, it would be rude to take your hospitality gift home with you when it was meant for the host or hostess, is that not so? Offering a gift of consciousness is no different. Once offered it becomes a part of that reality, regardless of the influence it may or may not have.

Can you share some simple words or phrases that I might hold in my heart or speak aloud that would bring me some peace at this time?

Indeed, perhaps you will welcome the following words as dear and precious, for your heart now speaks them directly to you. "I am a being of purpose and within my heart I hold humanity. Within my heart I hold my own future which is full of promise. Within my heart I create peace and offer it to all who would share it. Within my heart are the future generations that will be a part of this world. Within my consciousness is the hope that all will feel and see and dream as I do. Within my body is the health and vitality that I invite all others to participate in. Within my being is the truth of my own presence, sovereignty and divinity. Dearly within my own heart do I invite all others to know what I know for they are as I am."

In lieu of further questions we will close this forum until the next time. I make myself available to each of you and ask that you seek me out in your own environments and within your own hearts. In time of wake or time of sleep my sentience is yours in word and in experience. I return your hearts to you now as I have held them within my own during this interaction. Perhaps you will find that they are a bit healed and a bit more at peace with my blessing upon them. Until the next time, dear ones, my heart as always yearns and swells to be in your presence.
